Car Crashes Into Newton Salon

NEWTON (WBZ) ― A driver lost control of her car Friday afternoon and smashed into a hair salon in Newton, nearly hitting the salon's owner.

Newton police said while the driver was trying to park her car, it suddenly lurched forward 10 feet and crashed into the door frame of the Waban Salon on Beacon Street.

The 60-year-old Concord driver was not injured and neither was the salon's owner, Rocco Grifoni, who was sitting inside just inches from where the car crashed through.

"I was eating lunch and was facing inside, and then this car came right through," Grifoni said. "I was shocked."

The driver told police her foot slipped off the brake pedal, causing her car to lurch forward onto the sidewalk.

No citations have been issued.
